Comment[edit]

I'm not sure why Schweiker is described as becoming governor as a "direct result" of the 9/11/2001 attacks. At the very most, he became governor as a "very circuitous and tangential result" of the attacks. Tom Ridge would have had to have died or been incapacitated in the attacks for this to be a direct result. I'm eliminating this language as it seems to me to be non-notable at best and non-sensical at worst. --Cjs56 20:03, 29 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Mark's son Eric wishes that he had a pet kangaroo and enjoys playing sports as varied as basketball, sky diving, and bocce.

Don't think this should be in there without a citation. It seems less than relevant. --ladyPolitik (talk) 16:16, 20 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
